Seven Fallen Armies

Together they made Seven
As one by one they fell.
Like the six before them they had reached the seventh hell!
Bravery and honesty and honour are no good
As yet another thousand hopefuls take a chance they never stood.

Seven armies fought it
And Seven armies fell
And all it seems they left
behind was a sad story to tell.

If those lives can count for something,
the future must be told
About the Seven fallen armies left out in the cold, in the cold!

A history of anger builds a fragile house of cards
Stories told by children of how their fathers fought so hard.
Legend calls them heroes but in truth they never were.
They left a love and life behind in a world beyond repair.

Seven armies fought it
And Seven armies fell
And all it seems they left
behind was a sad story to tell

Seven armies fought it
And Seven armies fell
And all it seems they left
behind was a sad story to tell.
